“An Englishman,even if he is alone,forms an orderly queue of one'”wrote a famous British author ,George Mikes.While this sounds funny,it’s a popular English stereotype (刻板印象).From the supermarket to the subway,queues are a common sight on the streets of Britain.
Here in China,queues are normal,too.It is a part of everyday life. People queue most of
the time from buying tickets in the cinema to waiting for seats at a restaurant ·But in certain situations ,you'll find yourself in the middle of a rushing crowd ,such as getting onto the subway.Even away  from the busy subway platform,queues are different·
One day I was standing in line at the supermarket.I left a small space in front of me. Within seconds,a girl walked by and took her place in that small space.
